Receivers!
The Threat has once again invaded The Dreaming and expanded its grip on the world. To counter this, the Receivers are reaching out to you to support and give you more power and control of your Reality.
We are thrilled to announce a new update for Receiver, just in time for a sale on all of our titles and additions of new bundles. Support Wolfire in its goal to create more games and exciting content by checking them out!
This update brings some exciting changes and improvements to the game, including a new Modifier system that allows you change the gameplay in some fun ways. We’ve also fixed a set of performance issues and bugs, in particular one bug that had a major impact on Linux performance.
We’ve also added support for custom seeds, allowing you to replay the same world again, or share the seed with your friends to challenge each other.
We would love to hear suggestions for future modifiers in our Steam community or our Discord server.
New Modifiers
- Green Demon: try to complete the game while being chased by a slower but immortal kill drone.
- Thick Fog: Darken the world and shorten your view distance, making enemies harder to see and increasing their potential to surprise you.
- Spawn Magazines: At long last, additional magazines will spawn in the world, allowing you to have more than the ones you initially manifest.
- Tough Killdrones: Killdrones take more of a beating by requiring that you hit vital components, no more random chance of destruction by any hit.
- Deadly Threat: Everything is worse. The Threat is made near impossible to overcome.
Other Changes and Fixes
- Add a “Modifiers” menu button to play custom games.
- Reduce garbage generation in Shell Casings scripts.
- Fixed an issue with Revolvers.
- Made VSync turn off by default.
- Improved the Settings menu to be nicer to use and interact with.
- Implement FOV Slider.
- Stop limiting the games FPS to 60.
- Globally enable round interpolation inside of magazines.
- Adjust player camera near-plane.
- Implement a speedrun split timer for tape-pickup.
- Added an advertisement for Receiver 2 in the pause menu, can be completely disabled via settings.

We are thrilled to announce our brand new 100% free experience, Low Light Combat. Long time Wolfire fans might recognise that name but this multiplayer shooter was developed from the ground up in the cutting edge Unreal Engine 5.Watch on YouTube In Low Light Combat light is your only weapon. Matches take place during a rapidly changing day and night cycle, meaning your fast paced fights quickly become tense and thrilling battles of wit. In LLC, your health, ammo, and stamina are all tied to a single resource: Time. That means everything from firing your weapon and taking damage, to sprinting and shining your flashlight will all deplete your time. To replenish your time you must either defeat other players, or touch the reactor found in the middle of the map. But you must act fast because time... is fleeting.
We developed this project in one month and there are a couple reasons for this. We wanted to see what was possible with the new Unreal Engine 5. We wanted to push ourselves to create something fun without taking too much time away from other projects. But mostly we wanted to give the Wolfire community an exciting and unique multiplayer experience at no cost whatsoever!

Original postI’ve played Receiver 2 for all of 20 minutes, and my heart is ready to vacate my mouth. The sequel to 2013’s tense and fiddly roguelike is out, and it is immediately electrifying. It’s about crawling over dark rooftops punctured by the ominous blue of murder turrets, while screaming at guns that demand you press a gazillion buttons before they fire.
Please do not let this one pass you by.

Tense and fiddly FPS roguelike Receiver 2 shoots out next week
If you haven’t played 2013’s Receiver , you’ve missed out on some of the best shoots in videogames. It’s an FPS roguelike where you roam about on rooftops, fending off turrets and drones with a gun that needs more attention than a two-year old. There are separate buttons to slide
Original postIf you haven’t played 2013’s Receiver, you’ve missed out on some of the best shoots in videogames. It’s an FPS roguelike where you roam about on rooftops, fending off turrets and drones with a gun that needs more attention than a two-year old. There are separate buttons to slide in individual bullets, fiddle with safeties, and do that primey thing where you slide the top back. I’ve got no interest in real-life firearms, but panicking about this stuff in the middle of a shootout is great.
Developers Wolfire games have just revealed Receiver 2 is coming out on April 14th, and will let me do all of this again with fiddlier and prettier weapons. I’m going to have so much gun.

Receiver 2 brings more firearm fiddling next year
“Give the guy a gun and he’s Superman,” Russian playwright Pavel Chekhov said in his manifesto. “Give him two and he’s God.” The same is usually true in video games, except in Receiver . There, giving me even one gun turns me into a fumbling idiot, unable to shoot because I forgo
Original post“Give the guy a gun and he’s Superman,” Russian playwright Pavel Chekhov said in his manifesto. “Give him two and he’s God.” The same is usually true in video games, except in Receiver. There, giving me even one gun turns me into a fumbling idiot, unable to shoot because I forgot the the safety off, accidentally dropping precious bullets when trying to reload… I hope and pray I am not given two guns in Receiver 2. Over the weekend, Wolfire Games announced a sequel to their fantastically fiddly first-person shooter where it’s vital to master the mechanical procedures of firearms.

The most realistic gun simulator ever returns in Receiver 2, which will launch early 2020 and you can add it to your Steam wishlist right now!Receiver 2 will launch with eight different sidearms, including the Beretta 92FS, Colt Single-Action Army, and the iconic Desert Eagle. While the original game simulated the major moving parts of each gun, Receiver 2 simulates every single internal mechanism down to each spring and screw. Every enemy can be destroyed by a single well-placed shot, using ballistic simulation based on data from shooting incident reconstruction textbooks.
Practice the Receiver virtues of resilience, focus, and courage to resist the Threat.
Features
- Sidearms modeled down to every spring and pin.
- Enemies with physically-based damage models.
- Ballistic modeling of ricochets, penetration, and bullet drop.
- Train your mind to defend against the Mindkill.
- Become literate in how guns actually operate.

2013's Receiver is now prettier and smoother and you should play it
Revelling in the finer points of gun operation seems distasteful to me now in a way that it didn’t back in 2013, but I still bloody love Receiver . It’s about stalking across dystopian rooftops, deserted but for the turrets and drones intent on killing you. So far so videogames,
Original postRevelling in the finer points of gun operation seems distasteful to me now in a way that it didn’t back in 2013, but I still bloody love Receiver. It’s about stalking across dystopian rooftops, deserted but for the turrets and drones intent on killing you. So far so videogames, but what sets Receiver apart is the way every weapon requires meticulous care. Press R in the hopes of reloading and, depending on the fiddliness of your weapon, you’ll probably just eject a bullet onto the ground. Not ideal when a single zap sends you right back to your randomly-determined beginning.
A weekend update has smoothed out some performance issues, added a smattering of prettifying post-processing effects, and done away with a bastard of a pipe I can still remember six years on. If you missed this the first time round, cor, give it a go. S’only 4.
